I'm also seeing this. Running Ubuntu 12.10 amd64 like the others, but with NVidia's nvidia-experimental-310 binary blob driver through a GTX 560 Ti to drive a single monitor.

That is, the menu is showing at the top of the screen, and you can select a menu item, however nothing happens. Once the behavior starts, none of the menu items work, including File Exit. The only way to get the menus to work again, is to quit Writer and restart the program. This is with NVidia driver...not sure if it happens with other video cards. This is with libreoffice version >= 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu4 and indicator-appmenu 12.10.3-0ubuntu2.1 (currently in quantal-proposed) ONLY.
